Vancouver Whitecaps v FC Dallas – The Story In Pictures

Ah MLS. You never know what result you’re going to get in matches. Good old parity.

Not that there seemed to be too much parity heading into Saturday’s match between a struggling Vancouver Whitecaps side on a three game winless streak and a high flying, table topping, goal popping FC Dallas side, who were unbeaten in six.

There could only be one result. Yup, a 3-0 Whitecaps win.

After soaking up wave after wave of Dallas pressure, a multitude of misses, some phenomenal saves from David Ousted, and a Maynor Figueroa own goal somehow conspired to give the Whitecaps a 1-0 half time lead.

It gave Vancouver the confidence and self belief they needed and Jordan Harvey and Kekuta Manneh added a couple more in the second half, to give the ‘Caps three important points.

Not a perfect performance by far, and yes, they rode their luck a lot, but that’s football and that’s why we love and watch the game.

AFTN photographer Tom Ewasiuk was there to capture all the action before, during and after the game and here’s his “Story In Pictures”, with a full Flickr slideshow at the end.
